So, if you know what you are looking for, the quality can be as good as an original for 20% of the genuine price. Real story!
Buying fake NF stuff at cheap prices can actually be a good deal as the quality isn't quite THAT bad and can be worth the price if cheap.

That being said, I don't advocate buying fake stuff and trying to pass it as real at a NF store in the US. To be honest, that's just fraud and unethical.
